OOTD | Nautical Neon


Top - H&M
Skirt - River Island
Necklace - An Aussie Jewellery Shop
Watch - DKNY
Bracelet - Pandora
Lipstick - MAC Morange

Okay, first let me please apologise for these shoddy outfit pictures. I really wanted to get outside in the natural light and take some decent pictures but unfortunately I just haven't had the chance. Instead of doing no outfit posts I decided I would just quickly take some pictures and show you this outfit I put together. I recently got this bright neon orange top from H&M and I have been umming and ahhing about what to wear it with. After having a rummage through my things I decided to pair it with this stripy navy and white skater skirt from River Island. I thought the contrast between the stripes and bold top was a nice summery combo. You can't see my shoes on the pictures above but if I were to wear this on a night out I would pair it with my tan Kurt Geiger platforms or bright orange New Look heels.    I also decided to stick with the neon theme by applying a touch of MAC Morange lipstick to my lips. I absolutely love this shade and it instantly brightens up my face. Again, I apologise for the shoddy pictures, it was the best I could get with poopy artificial lighting. I promise I will get outside tomorrow and get some outfit pictures taken.
Also, I am wanting to do a 'Ask me Anything' type post on my blog. Basically, what I would like you to do is ask me any questions that you might be interested in knowing the answer to. Your questions can be about anything beauty/hair/skincare related, my blogging experience or even personal. (Not that my life will interest any of you!) You can ask me your question in the comments below this post or on Twitter here. I have decided to do this as I think it is a great way to interact with you all, maybe help newbie bloggers out with some tips and also so you can get to know me a bit better. After all, surely a part of blogging is knowing the girl behind the blog. With that being said I really hope you can participate and I can't wait to answer your questions.

I hope you are all having a fab week so far.

Lots of Love,

H&M Treats


Hey Ladies! I just wanted to quickly share with you all these lovely treats I got bought from H&M recently. As I mentioned in my Louis Vuitton post, my Dad, Step Mum and two brothers have just been to Hong Kong for the week and they came back with gifts galore. As if a Louis Vuitton handbag wasn't enough, they also made a trip into H&M and picked up a few things for me. H&M is one of my favourite shops and I've been having withdrawals whilst being in Australia. They are yet to catch on to the wonders of H&M you see. I had no idea there would even be a H&M in Hong Kong but I saw a picture my dad put on Twitter and it is absolutely HUGE. I now want to go to Hong Kong just for the shopping. Anyway, my Step Mum picked out these gorgeous pieces for me and I couldn't be happier with them. I don't know which item I love the most as I've tried them on and they all look fab. I think the blue and white boho style dress will look perfect with a tan waist belt and chunky bracelets. I was very pleased with the neon top as I've been seeing this trend everywhere at the minute. I think it will look great paired with a high waisted skirt or shorts. As for the 'mullet' dress, I absolutely love it. It is the perfect dress for summer and I think it will look lovely with a tan waist belt and wedges. I just need to find somewhere nice to wear it now. Overall, I am very happy and a very lucky girl! I'm sure all of these items will feature in outfit posts very soon. I'm not sure how much these cost as the prices were in Hong Kong currency but if any of you have seen these items in any UK H&M's, do let me know what the prices are so I can update the post with them. Thank you muchly.

Sorry for the short and sweet post, I've been pretty busy today and have only just had chance to write a post before I go to sleep. It is currently five to one in the morning here and I am absolutely knackered!

I hope you are all well!

Lots of Love,
